Beginner: Inside Out Beginner Workbook Pack without Key New Edition

Written by: Peter Maggs started out as a graphic designer and only got into ELT as a means to an end. He wanted to see more of the world and teaching English seemed a good way of doing that. He didn't expect to get hooked. But that was a long time ago and since then Peter has taught in France, Italy, Brazil, Japan and the UK. While he was in Japan Peter started up an English Language school, which proved to be an incredible experience. Catherine Smith. Series Edited by: Sue Kay studied at Birmingham University, unaware that it would later be the home of the prestigious Bank of English and one of the first places to carry out corpus-based research into the English language. Sue's subject was French, and when she graduated, she didn't go straight into teaching. Sue did a post-graduate course at the Oxford College of F.E. and became a bilingual secretary on the Cote d'Azur in France. Sue married in Vallauris, within sight of Picasso's 'Man and Goat' statue, and her son William was born there too, giving him the double advantage of having a very glamorous place of birth (Cannes) and growing up bilingual. Sue moved to Lyon where she started teaching English after the customary four-week TEFL course at IH in London. She loved Lyon and worked alongside people who went on to set up one of the most impressive and innovative schools she knew - English International. After meeting fellow co-author Vaughan Jones, they began writing the Inside Out series together. Vaughan Jones has been involved in TEFL in one way or another for all of his working life. He stumbled into it early on in Grenoble, France where he had gone straight after university to seek glory on the rugby field. Sadly, in the early eighties, rugby was still very much an amateur sport so Vaughan needed a job to pay for the beer. Through various rugby contacts he got a teaching post at the local Chambre de Commerce and spent two very stimulating years relearning his native tongue through the eyes of his French students. After many different experiences of learning English, teaching English and also being a Sales Rep for Heinemann, which allowed Vaughan to travel far and wide, he decided to move back to England as he had recently just had a new-born child. Settling in a new role, for Heinemann, at the HQ in Oxford Vaughan became frustrated and bored with this role and wanted to try his hand in writing. Since then, he has returned back to teaching and co-authored Inside Out with Sue Kay.
